| The best thing that particular area has going for it is Margaritaville, a nice little "red" bar across from the beach at Lake Lure. Well, I guess it's still there. It has been a while since I was in the area. I have some fond memories of that bar. |

Some arrive "shaking with anticipation"?? Well, I guess we are all affected differently by certain movies.
There is one Dirty Dancing thing I'd like to see: the Corner.
As in, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner". Yeah. That corner.
(one of the worst movie lines ever!!!) |

Let me rephrase that question: when was the last time Patrick Swayze starred in anything that was worth a hoot?
BTW, I've seen both Icon and KSM. One can't even say they're bad when 'bad' would be an improvement! In case that wasn't clear enough for you; these were a couple of real dogs.

Ahhh, well, you've got a point there. 
Well, the last movie that I liked him in was "To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar" - I really think he did an excellant job. I also enjoyed the series, "North and South".
"Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" go without question.
The cheesier ones that I've always liked were : "Road House" and
"Point Break".

Obi, for once I'll agree with you. CHICKFLICK ALERT!
Ironically enough, I never cared for DD or many of the other 80's movies. Everything about the 80's was cheesie and now the clothes from that decade are becoming the hottest style!
Damn modeling!!! They'll wanna' slap all of us into lace cuff spandex and stirrups! |

WHAT? Not like the 80's?? Well, I agree the clothes were a little weird (then when aren't they?) but you could at least save some money by just hitting your local thrift shop. I loved the music and the great cheesy movies such as "Valley Girl" and "Breakfast Club".  And you can't forget those T&A ski movies like "Ski School". Hey, you know, I think I even own a copy of that one...I have it here somewhere (rummaging through the dust...) |

Yeah, if you ever cruise around the board you'll see that I'm not a biggie on them(80's).
I loved the 60's clothing and the 70's were pretty cool too. I even liked the way the year 2000 put a modern twist on them.
Hopefully, they'll do that to the newest styles and maybe I'll like them a bit more.
But one thing I know for sure. Unless you're paying me a big amount of money you will not get me in stirrups again.
Now, body suits? I've never stopped liking them. In fact if you want some really cool ones hit the dance wear catalogs, they have 'em by the 100's and for a good price too.
Wear it with a cute pair of jeans or metallic mid-thigh skirt with a chain belt and pumps/sneaker heels and it looks pretty neat. |

Ya' know. I got to thinkin' if there was anything good that I could say about the late 80's (to the early 90's) and I suddenly realized there were a few...
#1 Philip Lewis  
#2 Bon Jovi
#3 Bret Michaels
Dear God, why can't I have more than one man?!

I loved the 80's because that is when my baby boy was born (12/6/83). Yep, the 80's were very good to me.

| Patrick Swayze was excellent in Donnie Darko as the motivational speaker with a closet kiddie-porn habit. That's my vote for best recent Swayze effort- 2001 I think. |

Susquesus,
I have never seen "Donnie Darko" but my all time favorite Swayze movie is "Ghost" I think that he and Demi were just perfect for that movie.
Love,

Has anybody seen a movie called "11:14"? Patrick Swayze shows up as a white trashy-type guy who just can't believe that his teenage daughter is a total . . . ummmm, let's just say she REALLY likes boys. I wouldn't recommend the movie unless you like films along the lines of "Memento," where you're constantly piecing together the storyline. Odd movie, but it was kinda funny to see Swayze show up in it.
On the subject of "Dirty Dancing," I was totally in love with Johnny Castle when I was in 6th grade. I recently watched the movie again and man! was it ever cheezy! I think my favorite scene has to be when Johnny finds out that his keys are locked in the car and proceeds to yank a pole out of the ground and break his own window, all to the tune of "This Overload." I know he's supposed to look like a total badass in that scene, but really: imagine when he has to go get the window fixed later. Not so badass after all. Just kind of ridiculous!
Also, "No one puts Baby in a corner" is pretty great too. |

Oh yeah, "Next of Kin" was pretty cool, too. But the scene-stealer in that flick was Briar, PS's character's brother. That was the first time I'd ever seen Liam Neeson. Who knew this hillbilly-sounding character was really an Irishman?
BTW, isn't PS look old now? |

Hear him in interviews Obi and it is quite obvious. Actually he and I come from the same neck of the woods. I lived "next door" to him practically when a kid in Northern Ireland. It is a small place and his town was not far from where I lived. Used to go there quite regularly actually.
As for PS looking old. Have not seen him in too much lately so can't really comment but it happens to us all doesn't it. |

Irish, have you seen Next of Kin? In it, Liam Neeson speaks with a wonderful Appalachian accent, sounding exactly like he really was from the hills of eastern Kentucky. (Just in case I didn't make myself clear in my previous post.)
And speaking of LN, didn't he play Michael Collins a few years back? Interesting movie, but less entertaining than Braveheart and about as inaccurate, historically.
Yes folks, this thread has been hijacked! Am I sorry? What do you think... |

Hey I watched DD on the telly a couple of nights ago and still enjoyed it. Johnny Castle is great in this one. That man can sure dance. They should have him on "Dancing with the Stars" which starts its new Season on the 24 September if memory serves me correct. He would do great (hopefully).
I'll admit it does have some cheesy lines and imagine letting anyone call you "baby" yuck. Still it is a good one IMHO. I used to have a "thing" for Mr Swayze.
Yes, Obi I misunderstood your post (sorry). Liam Neeson is great with accents but then a lot of actors are. It is their business after all. |

| Sure I call my 3 year old baby, that's okay but Frances aka baby was supposed to be a teenager and her folks calling her "baby" in front of everyone. I should try that with my 16 year old girl, she would disown me. Can't say I'd blame her. T |
